Started the Maker Wall of Fame in the Rātā team today... linked to one our creativity indicators; dare to be brave and different... These 6 excited learners are the first to feature... they were so pumped, especially with the added incentive from @shaun_harkness @DPS_Mstn

Our 5 yos lost part of their marble run so made a cardboard part to fix it! These boys used the cardboard prototype to design and print a replacement on our 3D printer! We had some very excited people, mainly @gsinton @DPS_Mstn

Making to develop a core belief. This week we did another #MysteryBagChallenge to help us learn about developing a plan of action; one of our agency indicators. @DPS_Mstn #TLIF #MakerEd

We’ve spent the term setting up our core belief place mats. Ss drew a symbol to help them remember each indicator. Today we started using them! They have identified a goal to work on for the week while they work on a project around our inquiry ‘Make it better’ #MakerEd @DPS_Mstn

As the project nearing an end, today was time for some reflection; how has our thinking changed, how was our practice changed and what does this mean for student outcomes? #TLIF #MakerEd @DPS_Mstn

During our TLIF journey we have gone through lots changes in the Ss independent making. Most recently they have been making to solve a problem. We have decided to change it up each week & this week; they get to make for the sake of making. Excitement levels are high! @DPS_Mstn

How cool is this... Shaun made this to show how his thinking has changed... the person on earth can jump up and down 5cm... the moon astronaut can jump up and down 30cm because the moon has 6x less gravity! @DPS_Mstn

Another great session with @mosborne01 today. An opportunity for our TLIF team to take stock and discuss what the project means for our teaching and learning, moving forward. Exciting times ahead at DPS. @DpsMaker

Chapter Chat is driving maker learning that involves a lot of fun, stretches learners and comes with high expectations. #makingatdps

So cool to come back to school and see the progress of our students inquiry actions. Chloe is trying to improve her Taha Whānau by designing and making this spinning wheel to get her family doing more things together. @DpsMaker #MakingAtDPS

Was so awesome going through a design thinking process task from @stanforddschool. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and made me really think about how I can improve my maker practice. Also highlighted the need for me to work on my prototyping!! @DpsMaker #BePresent

This week Liam designed and printed a gift for his mum for Mother’s Day. He used tinkercad to create the heart, rotate it and added the circle in the middle. Such awesome critical thinking, creativity and agency on display. Well done Liam. Happy Mother’s Day to everyone. #TLIF

Drawing on the explicit teaching around making and our core beliefs, we are blown away by what our learners come up with in their choice driven making. These boys were so focussed and engaged when making survival tools! #creativity #collaboration #agency #criticalthinking #TLIF

Making and Critical Thinking in action during a wet lunch time today. By learners have choice in their making and effective teaching around the core beliefs this self driven application is possible. @DpsMaker

Some great ideas for making a trailer with the @BeebotCo this afternoon. Our next step: giving and receiving feedback. That’s what a good collaborator does! #MakingAtDPS #TLIF #CoreBeliefs
